a beast is a beast 

A Temple 

A problem with the temples.  John knows Daniel and Daniel knows temples and beasts.  The four beasts of Daniel have one thing in common.  The temple.  Babylon destroyed the first.  Greece desecrated the second.  Rome destroyed it and Islam is preventing the third.

A Truth Shineth 

A darkness cancelled.  None of the wicked shall understand.  The wise shall.  You can cancel the darkness surrounding you simply by lighting your candle.  It will be noticed.  Maybe not understood.  Not your problem.  Seek the truth and it shall be found.  It can’t be cancelled.  Go ahead and light your candle and let it shine.

A Fit with Daniel 

A horn is a dynasty and before whom there were three of the first horns. Saladin came out of the Fatimid Caliphate, the fourth of ten Islamic dynasties, and would start the fifth, the Ayyubid dynasty. We also have the Battle of the Horns of Hama and the Battle of the Horns of Hattin. Both involved Saladin. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

a he or an it 

A Translation Issue 
A beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87. There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a ‘he’ and 37 translations call it an ‘it’. This is a significant difference. Daniel 7:7 can help us here. The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations. It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation. If your translation has a he for a beast, you are being misled.
